COMMENTS: Welcome back home, Dodgers, a far less-friendly confine (18-15) than the cozy and comfortable Great American Ballpark (4-1); maybe we need to cut out section 25 of the reserve level as well? Tonight's matchup of binary-record pitchers pits with the Tribe's ace vs. the Blue's youth. Let's hope the Dodgers can keep the bats going against the sub-.500 Indians, since interleague play only gets worse from there (White Sox and then Angels). And it's Mesh Cap Night tonight at Chavez Ravine!

Sometimes, Carlos Hernandez comments the game, which i love because he always say interesting things and talks about stuff he lived while playing with the Dodgers (he seems to have had a great time there).

Hate it. I think the game will lose part of its essence, one of the things i enjoy the most when watching the games at the stadium it's the uncertainty of close calls, the fact i can complain or be grateful about a mistake. It gives human dimension to the sport, it adds intensity to the players on the field and the fans in the stands.

I feel with instant replay, it'd be almost the same to watch the game on TV, or maybe i'm just old-fashioned.

If the Dodgers made the World Series, I think Los Angeles would be pretty supportive. After all, most Dodger fans are casual fans (not like you and I), and casual fans can make a lot of noise if their team can win it all.

Guys, I'll be monitoring this, but we just got a not-so-great phone call about my girlfriend's grandmother, so I'm going to bid you goodnight a little prematurely. Hopefully I'll be around tomorrow. Let's hope Saito can get himself together.
